Data Request LinkedIn

Request Your LinkedIn Data

To get an overview of your LinkedIn data, you can request your data directly from LinkedIn. To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Log in to LinkedIn with your account

2. Click on Settings & Privacy in the menu and navigate to How LinkedIn uses your data

3. Under Download your data select The works: All of the individual files plus more and send the request off

4. Download your data archive and import the ZIP file into your BitsaboutMe account

Detailed instructions

• Go to https://www.linkedin.com and log in with your LinkedIn account.

• Now go to the drop-down menu of LinkedIn. Click on Settings and Privacy and navigate to How LinkedIn uses your data.

• Under Download your data select The works: All of the individual files plus more and send the request.

• Within a few minutes LinkedIn sends you a link “The first installment of your LinkedIn data archive is ready!”. The file that you get with this link already contains all the relevant information for upload into your PDS (profile, contacts, messages). You can retrieve and upload it right away. The additional information contained in the full archive a couple of days later is not processed by BitsaboutMe at this point.

• After you have clicked on the link, you have to enter your LinkedIn password again for security reasons. Once you have done this, you will be taken to the page where you can download your data archive as a ZIP file.

• Once the data archive is successfully downloaded, return to BitsaboutMe and go to the My Data section to import your data from LinkedIn.
